There are several keyboard shortcuts you can use to navigate Zendesk Support and manage tickets. Keyboard shortcuts are turned off by each individual user. There is no global option.
You can open a list of shortcuts from the menu beside your user profile icon in Zendesk
Support.
Note: Your operating system and apps that you install may
implement keyboard shortcuts that override the ones listed in the Zendesk keyboard shortcuts
help menu.

Hi Dainne,
Happy Monday! Unfortunately, that's not what's happening on my Mac, as you can see on the screenshot below. What I would say is that it would be interesting to have Zendesk adapt to the OS in question and change the keys to those that are expected to be used on that OS (same logic for the downloadable PDF, changing the doc per OS):

Hi Bruno Cruz
Glad to hear you got it working.
By design, the shortcut keys should be displayed in the OS you are using. If you are using Mac, it would load the shortcut keys you can use with a Mac. Likewise for Windows. But to manage your expectations, the keyboard shortcuts you see there is Zendesk's own shortcut-so it's not necessarily a Windows/Mac shortcut

Hello everyone,
Happy Monday, hope you are doing well. Unfortunately, I'm also having problems using the keyboard shortcuts. I'm using Google Chrome (Version 105.0.5195.125 (Official Build) (arm64)) on Mac Monterey (Version 12.6).
Despite having tried the advice from Michael, I'm still not able to use the shortcuts. Can you help me out?
EDIT (Nov. 2): after trying multiple combinations, I was able to get ticket submissions (for instance) working with Control + Option!
Also, potential feedback: how about identifying the version/flavour of the OS and changing the shortcuts list with the correct keys for that particular version?

There's not a keyboard shortcut to take the current ticket, and in fact the "take it" link isn't navigable by tabbing around the page either. I think the closest you could get would be to use ctrl-alt-r to toggle to the Requester page of a ticket, then crtl-alt-t to toggle back to the ticket page itself, which will put the cursor on the Requester field, then tab one time to move the cursor to the Assignee field, and then start typing your own name in that field.
If you'd like to leave feedback for our product team, we encourage that -- create a post in our Feedback - Ticketing System (Support) topic, using this template to format for feedback. Thanks!

Hey everyone!
Thanks for the post and the comments. Is there a shortcut for the Assignee to take the ticket?
Thanks!

The PDF cheat sheet is missing several of the options listed in the pop up - for example "Toggle knowledge" and all the header formatting. Is there a complete cheat sheet anywhere, or would we need to make our own from the pop up?
